Skills for Quantum Technology (D1QT10)
Skills for Quantum Technology
Module D1QT10
Module details for 2025/26.
15 credits
FHEQ Level 7 (Masters)
Module Outline
In this module, the students will be taught skills that are required in building practical quantum
technology systems and platforms. The module will focus on the skills in:
- programming: students will use the Python programming language in scientific context, such as analysing and fitting the data, plotting the graphs and interfacing the microcontrollers;
- microcontroller deployment: students will learn the operation of microcontrollers and be provided with stimulating experimentation opportunities based on open-source hardware.
- 3D CAD design: students will learn how to construct solid models, assemblies, and detail drawings using a feature-based parametric design CAD program.
Module learning outcomes
Use and deploy programming language (Python) in the original scientific context such as for plotting the graphs or programming microcontrollers.
Comprehend microcontroller chip architecture and hardware.
Design and critically analyse 3D components using CAD software.

Please note that the University will use all reasonable endeavours to deliver courses and modules in accordance with the descriptions set out here. However, the University keeps its courses and modules under review with the aim of enhancing quality. Some changes may therefore be made to the form or content of courses or modules shown as part of the normal process of curriculum management.
The University reserves the right to make changes to the contents or methods of delivery of, or to discontinue, merge or combine modules, if such action is reasonably considered necessary by the University. If there are not sufficient student numbers to make a module viable, the University reserves the right to cancel such a module. If the University withdraws or discontinues a module, it will use its reasonable endeavours to provide a suitable alternative module.
